Today I finally finished with my video audition for Belmont University. The irony is that yesterday I received a letter from them that said I would not be accepted for the fall term. Now I realize that my immediate reaction and following actions may not be typical, and may not be completely reasonable. But to me, the choice I made was the only thing to do.
What was my reaction? Well, first I determined that I would follow through with the recording of my audition regardless of this letter. I have spent two full weeks pouring myself into this effort, and I am not about to let it be a waste. Sadly, my allergies have been quite violent so it wasn't quite as awesome as I had hoped, but it did turn out pretty good. (Props to Kris Walker for being on the spot for me, I super appreciate it!) Second, I now must contact an authority at Belmont and persuade them that the letter I got, is not the letter I am going to keep. Basically, I need to beg for mercy, and present myself in a manner that will somehow convince them to overturn the original verdict. Pray for me... Thanks! :)
When I said I spent 2 weeks on this project, I was not kidding. I literally worked all of about 2 days during this time, and spent the rest of the time on studying, so as I am returning this week, I have a lot ahead of me! Alot to catch up on, and alot to plan for. If you didn't know it, this year in September will be the 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY for SERVANT'S HEART!!! So... I am helping to plan a huge anniversary party! yay! It is supposed to be on August 7. We'll have free food, live music, games, kids activities, discount tables, bounce houses, a petting zoo, and whatever else we can come up with between now and then. So plan on coming because it's gonna be a blast!
Other than all of that, I think I am slowly developing a vision for purpose. This has been one of my most difficult battles. With as much as I plan for, I am desperate for God to give me something more specific to dream and to be passionate about. When you think of me, pray that God ignites passion that burns to my core and requires me to give my all for a purpose. I crave intimacy with God, and I desire to honor Him with my life, and to reach out to people.
What about the opportunities that we are given right where we are? I'm praying I learn to live life to the fullest here, and now. That I don't hold back. I don't want to be someone who is always "waiting". And I don't want to live in mediocrity.
How about you? Are you settling? Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Be your best and give God your all. It's going to be worth it!
